The agreement between the Government and the Generalitat to lay the foundations for a new regional financing continues to speak between the Catalan formations. ERC, who is the main partner who was intended to be content with the pact reached in the bilateral, does not conceal his disappointment for the final content and this Wednesday the formation has gone beyond in the Parliament when he has demanded the President, Salvador Illa, to “rectify” the agreement.
“They were very short,” said the Republican spokesman in the Parliament, Josep María Jové, who has assured that the bilateral pact “does not satisfy ERC because it does not meet the needs of Catalonia.” By understanding the Republicans, the distance that separates the agreed document from the literalness signed by themselves for the Illa investite is too too too much.
For this reason, from the training that Leadra Oriol Junqueras have noticed that, if there are no changes, they will withdraw their support. “They will not be able to count on us if it does not ratify the agreements we reach in their investiture,” said Jové.
In his response, Illa has dribble the ball ensuring that it is “a positive agreement” but at the same time that “Tabajo remains to do.” The president has ratified in the agreements reached with the Republicans and has assured that he is committed to complying with them, after which he has stressed that it is Catalonia who agrees with the State the design of a new financing system.
The doubts about how the closed text in the bilateral and the agreements with ERC already were already stated on Tuesday, when the Government and the central government collided with the interpretation of the first document. While the Illa Executive defends that ordinality is assumed by the Ministry of Finance, from the Government they reject this point of view and consider that it must be discussion between the set of autonomies.
After the brawl between partners, the president has chosen to focus against a common rival, the PP, who by the mouth of his spokesman Alejandro Fernández had requested explanations for the “Koldo case.” By understanding the conservative leader, in Catalonia there is no opposition because the second and third party of the Chamber, in reference to Junts and ERC, “prefer to paste” to propose as an alternative of government, he said. “We are going to really oppose it since the others renounce it,” said the leader of the Catalan PP.
“I am the defender of the useful policy,” said Illa, who has defended Fernández that from the opposition “useful politics can be made.” Illa has launched a dart in ensuring that “he does not know what the Catalan PP is run today” and has claimed to his contender that the Catalan PP to take a clear position on three issues. “Is Catalan a provincial language or a wealth? Should Rodalies be directed from Catalonia? And, does Catalonia need better financing?” Has inquired Illa, in a turn in which Fernández no longer had the opportunity to answer.
